no economic benefits over the long term for white students but unquestionable benefits for black and latino students. what do you say to that? >> alan kruger didn't say they were unquestionable benefits and our work is peer reviewed. there's a mountain of articles on which it's based. those 11 scholars focused on one debate in which there isn't a single critique that is peer reviewed. the weight of the evidence is on our side. kruger is an excellent economist and his article is an important one, but there are about six articles i can point you to all very well-done that can mix conclusions on the earnings issue. whether you earn more, if by getting a preference over your long-term career is an open question. the issue of whether you survive? science, whether you pass bar exams, whether you are likely to have good grades, those aren't largely debates. they can see there's a problem. >>ed i would add the so-called empirical scholars that said our work was shoddy. i think their brief is basically dishonest, and the most obvious way is they claim to have disproved everything we said and they do

why do you think wing over latinos in these states is so critical? >> well, because all three of those states are going to -- are swing states. they're very important states to both candidates. and the latino vote will and can be the decider in those elections. i think i've been saying for some time people thought i was nuts they expected that we're going to get somewhere in the neighborhood of 70%, maybe upwards of that, the latino vote. we are i think not just because of mr. romney's policies calling for the south deportation of 11 million people, calling the arizona and alabama laws a model for the nation. but the rhetoric that they've used -- that he's used when he's taken those very extreme positions. i think in addition, latinos understand that president obama has provided deferred action for the dreamers, these kids who know no other country but this one. that here supported comprehensive immigration reform. that he wants to work on a bipartisan basis to pass the dream act. they know as an example that 9 million of the 32 million people that w

all in black communities in milwaukee and in ohio and some latino communities. we know that these billboards are put up to intimidate people, scare them off from voting, because there's a lot of mythology around what happens if, for example, you vote and you didn't pay your parking tipgts or you vote and you didn't pay child support or you voted and you didn't show up for jury duty. those kinds of things make people think, oh, no, i need to stay away, and so what we had to do is we have to educate voters. we have to do a countervailing balance because we know that there are people who don't want african-americans and latinos to vote. >> let me ask you about this countervailing because it seems to me that part of what happens is if you take what folks are meant to be doing, what their actually jobs are, and you say, okay, instead of doing that or you have to do that but you also now have to educate voters, have you to put up new billboards, then you actually add this kind of additional burden, this additional cost to folks for just attempting to vote. is that wha
